Important Safety Information

It is essential to retain the instruction book with the Zanussi CZC 17/6 A Refrigerator for future reference. If the appliance is sold, transferred, or left behind when moving, ensure the book stays with the appliance for the new owner to understand its operation and safety guidelines.

Operation and Temperature Settings

Before using the appliance, remove all securing tapes and clean the interior with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda. The temperature inside is regulated by a thermostat with six positions, including an 'OFF' position. Position 1 indicates minimum coldness and position 6 maximum coldness. The intermediate position (3-4) is usually recommended. Temperature settings may need adjustment based on room temperature, door frequency of opening, and stored food volume.

Energy Saving and Installation

To save energy, avoid installing the appliance near heat sources like boilers or radiators. Ensure the appliance is located in a cool, well-ventilated room, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Leave space for ventilation and allow the appliance to settle for 2 hours post-installation before turning it on.

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Zanussi Refrigerator.

Keep the Appliance Clean

Switch off and unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Use lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda to clean the inside. Avoid using soap or detergent to prevent lingering odors. Clean the condenser and compressor at the back with a brush or vacuum cleaner once or twice a year to maintain performance and reduce electricity consumption.

Maintain Proper Temperature

Ensure the thermostat is set to an appropriate level, usually between 3-4 for optimal performance. Adjust the setting based on room temperature, door opening frequency, and food storage amount. Use the Low Room Temperature Switch during cold weather to maintain proper internal temperatures.

Ensure Proper Ventilation

Place the refrigerator in a cool, well-ventilated room, avoiding locations near cookers, radiators, or direct sunlight. Ensure air openings are unobstructed, and the back is close to a wall with the required distance for ventilation.

Food Storage Tips

Avoid storing warm food or evaporating liquids. Wrap or cover food to prevent strong odors, and ensure airtight packaging to avoid unnecessary frosting. Allow warm food to cool to room temperature before refrigeration.

Door Management

Avoid leaving the door open for long periods or opening it frequently to prevent warm air from entering. Ensure the door closes properly without obstructions.
